Highly Customizable Dials and Gauges for Your Motif Applications

XRT/gauge is a comprehensive collection of Motif widgets, comprising seven dials and gauges. XRT/gauge enables you to quickly build high-quality control panels, data displays, process controls and simulation environments.

Developed by Motif experts, XRT/gauge widgets are highly customizable and therefore ideal for environments with very specialized requirements such as aerospace, manufacturing or defense.

XRT/gauge widgets measure the value of a property or attribute and display this information in a format appropriate to the particular application environment. These widgets provide functionality unavailable in Motif or greatly enhance widgets that already exist.

User Interaction

XRT/gauge lets you do more than just display dials and gauges; users can drive the application through some of the widgets.

For example, with XRT/gauge user interaction routines, you can easily build an application that lets end-users adjust a dial interactively, or manipulate orientation (horizontal, vertical) and direction (forward, backward).

With XRT/gauge, Motif developers can customize all aspects of information display, including style, color, range, and much more. In addition, XRT/gauge widgets feature customizable origin position, start & stop angle, and min & max values.
